On Monday, the Pennsylvania Senate unanimously passed a bill to add
two gubernatorially selected members to the governing board of
Philadelphia's Pennsylvania Convention Center, expanding the board
to 15. Assuming the bill is passed in the House and signed by the
governor, the board will expand tomorrow. As for what this change
will do for the end user, "It means that there will be greater
support at the state level for the potential expansion of the
convention center," said Diane Warriner, executive director of the
House Urban Affairs Committee, which helped sponsor the
bill.
